Background

Sir Malcolm de Wylye is the cousin to Rowan de Wylye and a knight in Robert's service. He was born around Yule, twenty four years ago to Sir Owen ap Owen de Wylye, brother to Lord Sir Darren.

Malcolm however would not know his father who died fighting alongside The Pendragon when he was young. Instead he was fostered by Darren and squired by the man until he was knighted at age 19. There he rode as retinue to his christian uncle until the man's death at Netley marsh. It was there Malcolm also almost perished if it was not for the act of a British monk who pulled him from amongst the dead, and saw him nursed to life. As such he came to salvation before returning home. Unable to look his cousin in the eye, he served as a messanger in Robert's Court often delivering missives to vassals and allies, and serving the earl's intrigues as needed. (Some say he makes for a fine duelist) Most recently he has been amongst the bounds, hounding bandits and poachers. Though with his Cousin taking the reigns it makes sense that suddenly Malcolm is making him more useful of a piece instead of useless.

Characteristics

The man before you is a tall specimen. Broad shouldered and his body shows a line of muscle, which means his life's pursuits have not been those of comforts. He sports a crooked nose that is supported by a thick mustache which plays into a peppered beard. His hair is left long and wild, streaks of grey easy to catch. His sideburns are thick, and his jaw strong. The tip of his left ear has been cut off, and he sports a thick scar on the left side of his face which ebbs from crown to chin-where as a thin line scrapes under his right eye. Keen eyes are a light blue, and his hair is a dark, oily brown with waves of grey. He like all pagan britons, Malcolm, sports tattoos here and there of religious icongraphy and dominates his muscled torso.

A surcoat of deep blue is worn over his torso and fashioned by buttons at his left shoulder, where as he wears a tunic of a grayish blue, likely well faded from use. Dark grey trousers are worn with blue piping, and they bloom from well worn black boots. Sinched at his waist is a thick arming belt, with a fine blade-the Sun Victorious etched in the pommel. He is also known to carry a long thick knife, similar to a seax. His hands are oft covered by sleeves, or even a leather wrapping on his arming hand. Likely to hide scars.
